How do you copy a string onto the clipboard (Pasteboard) in iOS?

Question

How do you copy a string onto the clipboard in iOS? I searched for "clipboard" in the docs, and got no hits.

Like this:

    [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string = @"hello!";

Apple doesn't use the term "clipboard"; in iOS it's a "pasteboard", and you can have more than one of them.

In Swift 3.0 below code will help to copy text on PasteBoard

let pasteBoard = UIPasteboard.general
pasteBoard.string = "Lorem Ipsum"
